Apr 23, 2026; Ottawa, Ontario, CAN; Carolina Hurricanes right wing Andrei Svechnikov (37) and Ottawa Senators left wing Warren Foegele (37) chase the puck in the first period of game three of the first round of the 2026 Stanley Cup Playoffs at the Canadian Tire Centre.

\n

Logan Stankoven scored for the third straight game and the Carolina Hurricanes put the Senators on the brink of elimination with a 2-1 win in Game 3 of the Eastern Conference first-round playoff series in Ottawa on Thursday.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

\n

Carolina leads the best-of-seven series 3-0 and Game 4 is set for Saturday at 3 p.m. ET.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

\n

Only four teams in NHL history have come back from a 3-0 deficit to win a playoff series. The last team to do it was the Los Angeles Kings against the San Jose Sharks in 2014.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

\n

Jackson Blake also scored for the Hurricanes. Taylor Hall had two assists, and Frederik Andersen made 21 saves.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

\n

Drake Batherson scored his second goal of the series for the Senators, who have yet to have the lead at any point through three games. Linus Ullmark made 25 saves in the loss.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

\n

Carolina went 0-for-4 on the power play; Ottawa was 0-for-5 and is 0-for-12 for the series.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

<\/p>\n

\n

Stankoven opened the scoring, giving the Hurricanes a 1-0 lead at 5:13 of the first period. Hall got his own rebound after a shot on the rush, circled behind the net and then passed across to Stankoven, who scored on a wrist shot from the left circle.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

\n

Brady Tkachuk got in alone against Andersen early in the second period, but his backhand attempt was stopped.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

\n

The Senators had a 5-on-3 power play for 1:28 midway through the second period but did not convert.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

\n

Ottawa defenseman Jake Sanderson left the game at 10:07 of the second period with an apparent injury after taking a shot off his left hand. He had earlier taken a shot to the head from Hall.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

\n

Batherson tied it 1-1 at 16:06 when he received Nick Cousins’ pass in the slot, went to his backhand and lifted it in over Andersen’s pad.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

\n

Blake put the Hurricanes back on top 2-1 at 17:29. K’Andre Miller received a pass at the point, skated down to the top of the left circle and passed down across to Blake, who scored past the diving Ullmark from the far post.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n
